The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

Chapter 141 Greed

But there is no need to explain it clearly to Gao Liangzhuo.

Jinyou simply said, "I appreciate your kindness, Lord Gao. Please remember to donate three thousand silver coins to the Prince Regent's Palace."

Gao Liangzhuo looked at Jinyou with complicated eyes, and finally couldn't help but sigh, he was too young and too naive!

Money can really make people's hearts flutter! Don't you see that some people in the crowd are ready to make a move?

It’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. He has tried to persuade him, but what does it have to do with him whether he listens or not?

In the crowd, there was a short man with shifty eyes, squeezed among the people. He moved back and forth by taking advantage of his small stature.

Suddenly, a man was heard complaining, "We don't know where all this money is going to be used. We might just use it for show, and then they'll take it back."

The man next to him also echoed: "Yeah, look, just because he's the prince, this kid can casually take out three thousand taels of silver. That's not thirty taels, it's three thousand taels!"

The man was almost unable to conceal his sourness as he spoke.

The short man's eyes gurgled, and he came up to the two men and suddenly said, "Two brothers, what you said really makes sense. Look, they're doing this kind of fundraising again. Who knows where the money comes from or where it's going?

We all live in the capital, so we should be the closest to each other, but these officials don't care about our lives at all. Do you think this makes sense?"

When the two heard this, they were also provoked by him and immediately said, "That doesn't make sense! Since the money is for the people, why can't it be given to us?"

"Yeah!" The dwarf slapped his thigh and twisted it, his eyes full of tears as he said, "That's the truth, but they're officials. How can ordinary people like us resist? Who knows? They might have gotten all this money by squandering the people's blood and sweat. To put it bluntly, it's everyone's money!"

The two men's eyes turned red, and they kept repeating in their minds, "It's all everyone's money!" Yes, it's all their money, it's theirs!

"Brothers, how about we go and confront them together and get our money back?"

One of them still had some sense, "They have knives..."

The dwarf patted his chest and assured him, "What are you afraid of? The law does not punish the masses, do you know? It's definitely not possible for the two of you, but if everyone takes it together, we won't punish you. And you have to understand, brother, this is your money! You are just taking it back as a matter of course!"

"Yes, it was originally ours, but we are returning it to its original owner."

Then they passed the message to one, two, three, and for a moment they really incited some people.

Greed was magnified countless times by words at this moment. They could only see the three boxes of silver and even ignored the two rows of sword-wielding guards who were blocking the people.

Those who were blinded by greed heard someone shout, "That's our money! Go grab it!" and they rioted instantly.

One pushed and shoved the other and ran straight towards Yin Zi.

The guard drew his sword, but was too restrained to kill.

When the crowd saw that the guards didn't dare to attack them, they became even more daring and pushed the guards around, attacking and biting them.

Jinyou's eyes dimmed, and then he curled his lips.

He quickly pointed in a direction and shouted, "Cen Ye, over there! Catch him!"

Cen Ye moved upon hearing the sound. Everyone only saw a shadow rushing out, and then heard the man screaming.

After Cen Ye caught the man, he was shocked by his wretched appearance, which looked like a transformed rat. He then mercilessly twisted his two arms and kicked his legs before carrying him away.

At this time, Gao Liangzhuo had just finished recording. When he looked up, he saw someone pushing the guard and touching the silver.

He grabbed the silver and put it into his arms, but he only grabbed a few before his eyes widened.

Fake! It's fake! There's no silver underneath!

He wanted to turn around and tell everyone to stop pushing and grabbing, but he had no chance at all.

When I looked up, I saw Jinyou's half-smile on his face, and I shuddered with fear.

At this time, the guards were completely unable to stop the crowd. Some people rushed straight for the silver, completely ignoring the man who was pinned underneath.

They reached out to grab what was in the box one by one, and if they couldn't grab what was in the box, they would grab what was in other people's hands.

In the end, it turned into a fight in the street.

When Xiao Yunzhen heard the noisy cursing outside the carriage, he immediately asked the wet nurse to lift the curtain to take a look.

[What's going on? Why did the fight start? Where's Jinyou? Is he hurt?]

Liu Gui turned Xiao Yunzhen around so that he could see Jinyou.

Seeing that Jinyou was safe and sound, Xiao Yunzhen felt relieved.

[I'm so glad Jinyou's okay! But why would anyone want to steal the government silver?]

The government silver was marked. Some of it was used for disaster relief or transported to the border, and was often life-saving money.

Even the desperate criminals who occupy the mountains and become kings would not choose to rob government silver.

It was not just because the official silver was too important, but the more important reason was that using marked silver would violate the law.

The one with the mark means that he is either rich or noble, while ordinary people mostly only use copper coins and small change to make transactions. Once they are found to be using silver that does not match their status, they will be suspected of theft, which is the real reason for breaking the law.

Even if they picked up marked silver on the road, they would not dare to use it.

That's why Xiao Yunzhen was even more confused. These silvers were clearly marked, and even if they robbed them, they couldn't use them. Could they keep them as heirlooms?

Jinyou was guarded in the middle by the palace guards. He stood with his arms crossed, looking at the chaotic scene with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

At this time, Cen Ye dragged the short man to Jin You.

Jinyou squatted down and gently lifted the man's chin. "Who instructed you to incite the people? Huh?"

The man had his hands and feet broken and was dragged all the way here by Cen Ye. The pain made him tremble and his face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and refused to speak.

Jinyou frowned slightly, then smiled: "Don't want to say it, right? How about trying the torture of the Dali Temple or the Regent's Palace?"

The man did speak, his face trembling with pain and his teeth chattering. "You can't lynch me. You don't have the right to do that!"

"Heh~" Jinyou sneered, "You don't believe it? You can try it."

After saying this, Jinyou shook his hand away as if throwing away garbage, then stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers one by one.

"Prince!" Xu Jinlun used his fat body to squeeze next to Jinyou, his face full of anxiety: "Prince, what should we do? If this goes on, someone will die!"

"Your Highness, please mobilize the troops." Jinyou said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mingcheng rushed over with the Jinyiwei, accompanied by Ji Shuxiao and Wen Yan.

The Jinyiwei were not as cautious as the guards in the palace. They would arrest anyone they saw, and beat anyone who resisted with an unsheathed sword.

After a while, they were completely suppressed by force.

But there were still casualties.

The man who squeezed to the front and got the silver at the beginning suffocated to death, and when he died, he was still holding two ten-liang silver ingots tightly in his hands.
